[Ianhunt]

So are we doing anything Sunday?

[Ianhunt]

Anybody fancy Beggarwood park tomorrow?

[TJP]

Ian,
Sorry, can't make it Sunday.
Too much excitement today with Steve's run away through the crowds.
Good show put on today for the crowds by Steve, Barry, Mark & Jess, well done to you all, what a show stopper.
We even had a few photo's of us with the cars from the local press.
Two more requests for attendance at village fairs/fetes.
And there was talk about a possible motorcross track at the garrison we maybe could use.

Steve,
Good day thanks.

Trevor.

[Ianhunt]

Sounds like you all had a great time, wish I could have been there. Until the next one

[bat21]

YesI think the Arborfield day was a huge success and has done the club nothing but good thanks for your support:thumbsup:

[Ianhunt]

hey guys what are the plans for Sunday?

[TJP]

Ian,

I believe a few are supporting a stand at Basingstoke Live to promote the club.

Davey is the photographer at Basingstoke Live.

I'm going to try and get an hour or so on Sunday, probably Beggarwood if anyone's up for it.

However, it is forecast rain and it is the Grand Prix, so no decision yet.

Trevor.

[Ianhunt]

Keep me updated for Sunday

[TJP]

Ian, is the Savage running n ready to go?

Trevor

[Ianhunt]

Hi All,

Couldnt find anywere else to post this, so here i go:

Saw you guys at the War Memorial Park yesterday, and spoke to both of the guys at the stand. Thought id pop in and say hi!

[TJP]

Hi Rob,

We're hoping to be at Arborfield next Sunday.
I'm sure Ian or Steve will confirm on this forum over the next few days.

New members and guests always welcome.

Cheers Trevor.

[TJP]

Anyone ever attended a weekend bash like this one in Alton at the end of August.

Hi Rob, Just realised you were bnbashers (lol know what that means now!) You met with Steve and Daniel yesterday. You should come along to one of our bashing sessions. Be good to meet up.

I just transfered your photos from the old yahoo group to the new facebook one. www.facebook.com/groups/brcclub (http://www.facebook.com/groups/brcclub) ;-)

[epoxydude]

seeing as this is the General chat thread I thought id come say hi .
I have a Traxxas jato 3.3 at the moment and have been wanting to have a track in basingstoke to use .
If you guys need help with anything to do with building a track then i will help out .
I am also a paint sprayer by trade maybe i might come in handy at some point if it helps you out .

[staticvandal]

Hi epoxy, always great to welcome new members:thumbsup:. Hope you can make it on Sunday.

[epoxydude]

Guys .
is the club any nearer to finding land to race on that they can call their own .
I am keeping a look out in and around odiham/hook and the hatch . i know its a little way but thought out of town there would be no noise problems and there is more likely a bigger piece of land to play with .

cheers jim

[staticvandal]

Hi epoxy

no not yet, We have another meeting in Newnham next week that Steve has arranged. I have finally had a response from Hampshire and they are going to run a search for me. I havn't had a response to my last 5 emails to Basingstoke, despite them saying they were very keen to help. So any suggestions are very appreciated and will be fully supported and followed up by the club.

[dobknobby]

Hopefully ill be there this sunday! Chineham Park, I take it its the big field? Dont know if ill be running or not yet. But i shud b able to show my face.

[bat21]

Hi Ian
maybe we should have a working team for this project 11 acres is a lot
and there will be some hard graft needed
Steve

[staticvandal]

I will definitely be looking for volunteers, maybe a membership discount could be in order:thumbsup:. We just need to decide our plan of action first. Direction is key (aswell as some free beer and food for the work force of course):woot:.

[staticvandal]

Arsey Phil, any news on the scaffold yet?

[RCPhil]

I should get a call in the next few days.

If not I will chase.

The construction won't be an issue as I'm a qualified scaffold inspector so we can build to the correct standard.

We need to think about how we are going to support the scaffold.

Will we ne concreting some of the up-rights into the ground or supporting them on pavers?

[paul1972]

Hi
I am currently racing indoor touring cars but am finding the fun factor is begining to wear off what with a certain amount of elitism and the cost . I am looking for some fun racing and not having to spend the earth on equipment to be reasonably on the pace.
I have an acme trooper and a ansmann mad rat would either of theses be any good to start off with outdoors at your club?

The mardaves look like a hoot too!

also where and when could i come along and take a look ?

[TJP]

Paul,
Sorry you've had no response, we generally use facebook for club chat http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/BRCCLUB/

We have just started meeting on a Wednesday night for practicing and Saturdays for track building/maintenance with Sunday for racing at The Woodyard off Roman Way.
This Sunday there will be no racing outdoors, but it will be Mardaves indoors.

Try the Facebook link and you'll get a flavour of what's happening.

Trevor.

[TJP]

Oh, and some of the guys run rats..:)

[paul1972]

Hello all
i plan to come and visit and have a play this sunday (10th june)
I was wondering when you are doing mardaves s as i have recently bought one:)
hope to meet you all sunday
paul

[staticvandal]

Hope you enjoyed the daves Paul. They are more fun than a lot of racers give them credit for.

[billyboy9002]

Hi, can I make a suggestion that if you decide to cancel racing, that you post it on here and not just Facebook, to save me and another guy standing there for an hour.

Cheers

[jonnotheone]

hi guys im moving to basingstoke in a few weeks and looking for a touring/road 1/10 club do you guys do em or do you know if there is a 1/10th road club in basingstoke...cheers...:eh?:

[Speed Nerd]

Jonno Unfortunately we only race 1/12 scale indoors and 1/10 buggy's and short courses on our outdoors track, Newbury race club races the 1/10 touring cars.

Although i might put a suggestion in for maybe a new race class for 1/10 small cars like the tamiya M chassis

If more people had 1/10 touring cars then i do think we would do it although we are still a new club and i do believe we are the only club in basingstoke atm


hope this helps


Regards

Pete

Also we are on facebook as well http://www.facebook.com/groups/BRCCLUB/
